2.4 Field bus connection
Both RJ45 X1 (EtherCAT IN) and X2 (EtherCAT OUT) ports are used to estab-
lish a connection to the network. Both ports feature an LED that gives infor-
mation on the port's connection status. The data transfer rate for EtherCAT is
based on Ethernet with a fixed full-duplex rate of 100 Mbit/s and a maximum
transmission distance of 100 m.
